Chapter 3: The Ship Sinking in the Early Morning (Part II)
The flaming eyes were the first impression that Cedar made when he boarded the ship. The heat was definitely fire magic, and she took the lead before Akane in protecting them all and driving the sea water towards the ship like a tsunamiβ
Taihu came, and in the great sense of shock of the sea disturbance, Cedar thought so. But then he understood, and then the terrifying crest of the wave sprinkled an ice rain that enveloped the whole ship, and forcibly washed away the heat!
Deep cold needle crack waterfall, a large-scale water technique with a mental interference effect, Cedar remembers that Xuehe attaches great importance to this technique. The rain of ice and snow controlled all the people walking around the boat, and Brand then fired continuously, knocking most of them to the ground!
"Don't resist uselessly!" Bissi approached the red-clad woman with flaming eyes, driving the waves to the ground.
"Red Witch Shira, it's been a long time. Brand pointed a gun at the woman named Sheila, the beautiful woman lowered her head slightly and smiled lightly, her golden brown eyes like a poisonous snake and her half-evil facial features were indeed full of mystery.
Cedar followed behind Brand and Beatsy, nervously watching Sheila's movements and thinking about what she could do. They were just thinking about patrolling early, but if they really wanted to fight, how should they cooperate with their predecessors? The environment at sea was actually the most restrictive to him, and it would be more helpful to expand the "Goyu no Yoshiling" than to manipulate the plants in the sea......
Just as he was thinking, Zhao Hua had already defeated the rest of the people on the deck with a series of wind blades, because the battle was much easier than the battle of the Demon King, the three boys even glanced at each other suspiciously, and paused before surrounding Sheila together.
Although it was a mysterious aura like a snake, Sheila smiled and raised her hands, and this unusually cooperative attitude made Cedar and the others look at each other again.
Let's sense it just in case. Cedar stretches the pattern, his ability to detect supported by plant energy is slightly weaker than Abel's sensory extension, but he can still roughly detect the situation inside the ship-
Sheila's breath was steady, but there was still a circle in the cabin, and as soon as she touched the circulating multi-layered parallel circle, Cedar shouted, "They're using a teleportation circle!"
Hearing his shout, Sheila's light smile faded suddenly, and her mocking eyes became cold. At this time, Han Feng responded loudly and rushed away from the resisting crowd and crashed into the cabin, Bi Qian was stunned for a moment, hurriedly suppressed the group of fire bombs that Sheila suddenly threw out with a series of water bombs, and quickly carried the ice and snow to knock down the enemy who tried to stand up again and followed in one breath.
"You don't know anything!" Calm attitude is no longer there, but Sheila's appearance is also more aggressive, and the fever erupts again!
Now that Han Feng and Bi Qian have entered, Zhaohua quickly took up the vacancy, and the wind and fire that swept the ice and snow collided with each other, and they couldn't hold each other for a while.
Of course, Zhaohua's strength is reassuring, Cedar is accumulating strength and approaching, and he is bitter against fire spells, but he can still fight at such a close distance-
Suddenly seeing Xi stretch his hand to probe something on his body, he couldn't help but shout to be careful, but the dark blue rune swirled quickly again-
Faster than Zhaohua's fierce wind blade, Sheila's figure disappeared into the dark blue fire in an instant, and the wind blade pierced through the steel and shook the ship, only cutting four or five penetrating marks on the hull.
Cedar looked sideways at Zhaohua in a daze, and felt a pause before he said in confirmation: "...... Escaped?"
"Escaped. Zhaohua replied, and looked into the cabin vigilantly.
Cedar glanced at Brand and walked inside after him: "We are one step late, and the stronger enemies have been transferred. β
"Revealing your identity in advance by following the rules and regulations generally means that you won't be able to catch high-level personnel," Brand said, turning back, "You're used to high-intensity battles in the white world, and now you suddenly encounter a relatively weak enemy, doesn't it?"
"I used to be chased and beaten, and I was besieged and hostile to all kinds of ......" After confirming that it was safe, Cedar also relaxed and answered, which was indeed a big difference for him.
"Be a little confident in yourself, you're the elite who defeated the Empress of the Firmament," Brand smiled, "Let's just seize the evidence and go." β
There was a lot of noise in the cabin, Han Feng twisted the enemy's arms one by one to fasten the magic confinement ring, and Bi Qian was in the corridor to check the rooms one by one.
"That's right, let's help rummage through suspicious files. Bissi beckoned to them, looking relaxed.
Looking for documents...... It wasn't difficult, Cedar went to the bed and desk, and in a short time found a notebook and a few incomprehensible alchemy books, as well as a tutorial on fire magic.
"Received an order to retreat. The cedar was still rolling, and Beatsie shouted outside the door again.
"But you haven't finished checking yet, are you?" said Cedar, still standing up.
"We found the hidden bomb, I don't know what other means the Awakening Order has, let's retreat first. Bissi helped him get a little book and took him all the way back to the deck, at this time Han Feng and Brand were assisting in the handover on the ship that came to support, and Cedar looked at it, they probably caught more than a hundred people.
"They're injured, do they need me to treat them first?" asked Cedar because it was too easy and there was no hostile hatred.
"No, they need to be taught a lesson," Bissi shook her head slightly, then lowered the ladder, "Let's go back to the boat." β
"Will you lift the barrier after leaving the Silent Boundary?" decided to write down the entire procedure, Cedar asked again.
"When everything is dealt with, the seal can be lifted, just remember not to let ordinary people notice the abnormality. β
They waited less than fifteen minutes before Brand and the others returned, and the support boat carrying the captives set off first, and they began to evacuate. Just as Cedar was looking at the waves raised by the support boat, a chill suddenly made her skin shiver behind her, and then there was a sound that broke the airβ
When he turned around, he saw the light of peacock blue and emerald green falling all over the sky, and the ships of the Awakening Order immediately exploded in a brilliant light!
"That'sβ" The face was reflected by the blue light and the red fire, and Cedar couldn't help but lean out and scream in amazement.
"Ah, don't be nervous," Bissi hurriedly waved her hand at the awe-inspiring faces of the three boys, "It's okay, that's Octavia Darcy's ability, and her title is 'Aurora Bow'." β
"Aurora Bow ......" Cedar murmured with palpitations, such a grand and gorgeous light is indeed like the Aurora, very dreamy.
"Miss Darcy is a closer presence to Miss Evelyn than Mr. Sikong. Miss Darcy's range and accuracy are among the best among the Heavenly Punishers. Bissi continued, still in a brisk tone.
It feels very powerful, but isn't it a bit too much, just wrecking the ship......
"Since there's a threat on board, there's no way to do it," perhaps seeing their confusion, Bissi reassured, "No one gets hurt, does it?"
Of course the cedar knew, he hummed softly, still looking back at the billowing black smoke that had dissipated with his teeth and claws.
"Komatsu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the comfort had no effect, Bi Qian asked with a little worry, which made Cedar come back to his senses and smile perfunctorily.
β...... It's nothing. β
Bi Qian didn't have too many questions about his suddenly low expression, but still said with a smile: "The first day of work was so up and down, aren't you used to it?"
β...... Well. β
"Indefinite vacations and the occasional large-scale battle, that's what the Miami section does," Bissi patted him on the shoulder, unconsciously approaching Miami's bustling, colorful bay, "Go back and rest, we'll do the rest, you just need to attend tonight's welcome party." β
"Okay, goodbye senior!" Han Feng responded heartily, waving his hand on Cedar's shoulder.
"See you tonight, gentlemen. Brand glanced at Cedar and smiled goodbye.
"Cedar, I still think you're a little wrong, this trance......" Watching Brand and Bissi walk away, Han Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened, which made Cedar suddenly become nervous, "You won't ...... It was love at first sight with that Red Witch!"
"Huh, what nonsense!" Cedar smacked him hard, "No, and she's more than ten years older than me just by her appearance, right?"
"I thought you liked the big sister type!" Han Feng made an exaggerated gesture to dodge, looking taken for granted.
"Who said that?" asked Cedar angrily, he didn't even know what type of girl he liked.
"Harden, he also said you definitely like to climb the branches. β
"Bastard, I'm going to go online and scold him!" Cedar said loudly, and fell silent again.
He did have something to worry about, and it was on the ship, while collecting the belongings, that he sawβ
"Yakushiji's words are always true and false."
"Beware of Erica"
The sticky notes that fell out of the pile of books when packing up the materials were very sloppy in traditional Chinese characters, and if you looked closely, the medicine characters were written incorrectly.
As soon as he read those two sentences, the note suddenly caught fire and burned to ashes, as if it had never existed.
But it's weird, it's weird...... Originally, I just looked at it for a moment, and I was even more startled when the sticky note caught fire, and I thought that the handwriting would be forgotten cleanly, but I actually remembered it very clearly, whether it was the urgent handwriting or the details of the wrong strokes, it was as clear as if it was printed in my heart.
It may not be a trivial matter, and the mention of the content is not at all impressive, but Cedar feels very ominous.
Not only because of the inexplicable flame, Cedar vaguely felt that the content would soon be related to him.
Is that...... What does that mean? Who is Yakushiji and what is Erica? Cedar also understood that this was the right thing to report, but there seemed to be a voice in his mind that was stopping him, "Don't ask anyone."
If you climb the branches...... Cedar knew that he shouldn't rely on Noboru like that anymore, but what was all this about?
He glanced back at the clear blue sea, and the ship must have sunk into the depths. So, keep those two sentences in your heart as a secret? Cedar thought, taking it as his own mysterious treasure, until the right time to resurface everything.
